Dismayed and angry over delays by two ethics panels managed by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), we strongly urge your attendance tomorrow.
We believe the delays are contrived and that both panels are overly focused on protecting ASCE's reputation instead of protecting the American public.  And we will not allow these activities to continue unchallenged.

At a press conference tomorrow, we will document our position and take action. Please join us.
When: Tue Aug 5, 2008 at 10:30am
Where: Lakeview Harbor Restaurant, 911 Harrison Avenue in Lakeview. From parking lot in front, enter the door w ith the "golden ribbon."
Background:
Late last year, just weeks apart, the ASCE announced two ethics investigations. One was an internal committee looking into allegations by Dr. Ray Seed, University of California Berkeley who says the US Army Corps of Engineers, with the help of the ASCE, covered up its flood protection mistakes after Hurricane Katrina . The other was an external task force, headed by retired Congressman Sherwood Boehlert R-NY looking at how the ASCE participates in engineering studies of national significance.
Both reports were expected by April 2008, but both panels have yet to present their much anticipated results.
Please join us at this important event.
